From tie Hdg,rSio~a NeI"N.
This is the season of the year when
city folks begin to dream of the country
pleasures, country flowers, brooks and
freedom. 1t makes them feel like pris.
oncrs to imagine the green fields, ripen-
ing fruits and the hum of insects. Every
day parties, looking for desirable houses
to rent, arrive at the various railroad
stations. The majority, however, seem
disappointed when they find they cannot
secure a fine country seat or a 100 acre
farm fer So per month. They want all
the improvements, including hot and
cold walcr. and a cow thrown in.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has written a
letter to Mayor Francis, of St. Louis,
Withdrawing his verbal acceptance OF
the invitation to visit that city during
the sessions Of the Grand Army en-.
campment next fall. The withdrawal
is owing to the feeling manifested by
certain members of the Grand Army
organization. The letter has caused
considerable of sensation in St. Louis,
and mass meeting of citizens was
called to meet at the Merchants Ex-
change to consider resolutions inviting
the President of the United States to
visit st. Louis during Fair Week, early
in October, or at some other time that

field My friend was not directly re-
quested to take hand in tie "hilling''

conveniently and perhaps ostentatiously
displayed, SO that he felt compelled to
offer his services. This exercise lasted
until dinner time After dinner tue city

the unusual exel ton, looked forward to
Il quiet half-hour in an armchair, with
the soiace of cigar. He was disap-
pointed, however, for 1t appeared that
the custom was to spend the time between
dinner and dark in watering flowers,
killing caterpllars and other rural diver
sions. There was, to be sure. an early
move to bed, but this was counterbal-
anced by an equally early breakfast and
a rush for the morning train. The fact
is that country people are Injured to hard

not so well trained should exercise great
caution in excepting these invitations at
this growing time of the year.

inappropriate to say that you trod Ill the

the right of a people to be governed only
| by their own consent, and protected the
state sovereignty acquired by your faith

of the consent of the people to be gov,

President Cleveland Accepts an Invi-
tation for Early in October.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The White
House represented an animated scene this
evening on the occasion of the reception of
the delegation from Missouri to invite the
President to visit st. Louis during the State
fair in October.
The delegation numbered nearly 100 per-
SONS, representing all the interests of the
city as well as the principal sections of the
State.
The President received them in the Ii
brary and shook hands cordially with each.
Mayor Francis made the presentations,
and when all had been received addressed
the President to the following effect:
1.-THE disappointment consequent upon
your letter OF declination was deep and all
prevailing, but co-extensive with it was n
sentiment ofsincere approval OF the patriot
ic motives which prompted you to such ac-
ton. The citizens of st. Louis irrespective
of party, nationality or race, in mass meet
ing assembled the day after your letter was
received, with one voice enthusiastically re-
solved to extend to yourself and your es-
Unable wife a cordial invitation to visit the
city during the first week in October next
and instructed their mayor and committee
to try and deliver the same IN person to
you. Assemblages of like character were
promptly helu in almost every county in
the State endorsing and emphasizing the
action taken in ST. Louis. We are, there
fore, in obedience to the mandates of our
people, here to urge you to favor us with
your presence"
In response the President said: my re-
ply to your very complimentary and hearty
address will be very brief and practical.
At the time you did me the honor with so
many of your fellow-citizens to invite me
to your city thought that it was an invita-
ton which should be declined. 1t was not
at all necessary to convince me of your
good faith that 80 many of you good people
should come here at this inopportune
season to bring this invitation
and yet you don't know how much it
has pleased me to see you all.
The desire to come and see your has in
creased each day. don't feel now that
can do otherwise than 10 accept your invi-
tation. The arrangement made before was
entirely free from complication and pre-
sented no likelihood Of any. You are
aware that have agreed to visit the city of
Atlanta early in October. 1 only speak of
this because when we are about to deter
mine upon day when can visit you tn is
Atlanta visit must be considered. Howev-
er, this Is matler that can be arranged af-
forwards. Luckily we have plenty of time.

that by so doing for few years the rain

that irrigation will not even be needed in
